Research activity :
The DIMANT (Design of Innovative MAterials research for New Technologies) research group was founded in 2013 with the aim of creating
a synergy between research and teaching, pursuing excellence in the first and effectiveness in the second, and offering support to regional companies operating in the production and transformation of materials.
DIMANT brings together experts and skills on the science and engineering of several materials and coatings: plastics, ceramics, metals, biomaterials and geopolymers. DIMANT also deals with sustainable technologies for synthesis and transformation of materials as well as the surface interactions between materials and the environment, including tribological and corrosion phenomena.
Impact on society :
DIMANT has successfully contributed to the development of different new materials, processes and products, including, for example, magnetocaloric alloys for magnetic refrigeration, fuel cells and hydrogen production systems, processes for the valorisation of industrial wastes to produce ceramic materials.
